Intermission

Intermission is a designated break during a performance, such as a play, concert, or opera, typically lasting 10 to 20 minutes. It allows the audience to rest, stretch, use the restroom, or socialize without missing any part of the show. For performers, it's a chance to regroup and prepare for the next act. Intermissions are scheduled to enhance the overall experience, ensuring audiences stay comfortable and attentive, while also providing organizers an opportunity for logistical tasks like set changes or refreshments. It’s a shared pause that improves the enjoyment and flow of lengthy performances.
